1 00:00:00,21 --> 00:00:05,42 Following program is sponsored by the ABOL open door church yet all indoor church 2 00:00:05,47 --> 00:00:10,87 he's committed to loving God loving people and loving why our doors are open to 3 00:00:10,88 --> 00:00:17,28 whomever no mass required Seattle open door church is located in downtown area next 4 00:00:17,29 --> 00:00:24,19 to the southwest courthouse. Welcome to their route so your host for there 5 00:00:24,20 --> 00:00:28,18 is hope is Richard over with your pastor of The Open Door church. 6 00:00:35,82 --> 00:00:40,64 Did you see Pastor tricked you Baptist to dance today because you had 7 00:00:40,65 --> 00:00:44,66 a turn from north south east and west that got your food moving so we got the 8 00:00:44,67 --> 00:00:50,50 Baptist turn around and dancing for the first time ever. That wasn't my call I'd 9 00:00:50,51 --> 00:00:57,40 even know he's going to do that song. You know. When 10 00:00:57,41 --> 00:01:03,88 we did that you know some people would say I'm not going to participate something 11 00:01:03,89 --> 00:01:04,89 someone participate because 12 00:01:04,90 --> 00:01:11,73 a pastor told me to. Think about that pastor said to do it and who is he to tell me 13 00:01:11,74 --> 00:01:16,29 what to do I know that your experience revival in your life 14 00:01:18,72 --> 00:01:23,57 pastor told we have to do North South East West and you know what I don't really 15 00:01:23,58 --> 00:01:29,94 feel like moving. You know and I don't feel like turning you know I'm kind of 16 00:01:29,95 --> 00:01:36,43 tired probably not going to experience revival in your life. And 17 00:01:36,44 --> 00:01:43,37 then the worship seemed goes and has its do it more than wants. I'm OK vr of 18 00:01:43,38 --> 00:01:50,07 once or twice but five times. You're probably not going to experience 19 00:01:50,08 --> 00:01:56,46 revival in your life. Because if you can't do that when God calls for all night 20 00:01:56,47 --> 00:02:02,74 prayer in the church you won't be here because it had to be passed or that not God 21 00:02:02,75 --> 00:02:07,75 had to be passed that called us for all night prayer wasn't God. And I'm not going 22 00:02:07,76 --> 00:02:12,71 to do that just because Pastor says it or turn around and we turn around and say 23 00:02:12,72 --> 00:02:16,79 you know what God's really calling us to do is that what we need to do is is to 24 00:02:16,80 --> 00:02:21,66 walk around our community your southeast and west and what we need to do is pray. 25 00:02:23,27 --> 00:02:28,48 Walk out the church bill and actually pray towards the north pray for Everett 26 00:02:28,54 --> 00:02:30,22 Marysville up to K. 27 00:02:30,23 --> 00:02:37,03 On of them you know. Nothing happens when you do that that's 28 00:02:37,04 --> 00:02:37,23 just 29 00:02:37,24 --> 00:02:43,88 a man they guess what you probably want to experience revival because you know what 30 00:02:43,89 --> 00:02:46,91 it's really about it's about your heart it's about 31 00:02:46,92 --> 00:02:52,96 a heart condition if your heart isn't right I can't work a hard heart a cold heart 32 00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:59,37 a negative heart a critical heart a lazy heart a rebellious heart. So I'm 33 00:02:59,38 --> 00:03:04,31 a share with you as I don't know what I'm going to share with you I've been praying 34 00:03:04,32 --> 00:03:10,72 last night I got probably two hours sleep I couldn't I couldn't sleep as 35 00:03:10,73 --> 00:03:15,24 a god you got to give me a word in which the word. And didn't really give me 36 00:03:15,25 --> 00:03:22,20 a word I've known all week but I'm going to be talking on and I 37 00:03:22,21 --> 00:03:23,32 say God what's happening 38 00:03:23,33 --> 00:03:29,70 a go to my office Lord. What's going on you know he said share your heart 39 00:03:31,43 --> 00:03:31,56 it's 40 00:03:31,57 --> 00:03:35,21 a put something in your heart and it will just share your heart it'll be what I have 41 00:03:35,22 --> 00:03:41,04 to say so I don't know where we're gone and how long we're going and how are ending 42 00:03:41,04 --> 00:03:47,88 . I don't like this because I like to be in control like to be in charge. 43 00:03:50,66 --> 00:03:53,81 I guess what that's a problem. That's 44 00:03:53,82 --> 00:04:00,59 a problem. How can God be in charge you'd be in charge the same time yeah. I would 45 00:04:00,60 --> 00:04:03,47 hope that every week I'd just say well what to see what happens I'll just share 46 00:04:03,48 --> 00:04:08,48 with you whatever happens happens. But what if God did that for the next ten weeks 47 00:04:10,93 --> 00:04:14,82 he says I don't want you to prepare anything I just want you to be in tune to my 48 00:04:14,83 --> 00:04:20,75 spirit speak my heart. I think maybe some things would be amazing that would happen 49 00:04:20,76 --> 00:04:22,67 but guess what that's not 50 00:04:22,68 --> 00:04:28,95 a formula. There's pastors in Uganda one of the problems they have is they don't 51 00:04:28,96 --> 00:04:33,24 have bible college and stuff and every week they don't do they don't can't read the 52 00:04:33,25 --> 00:04:37,96 Bible in the house of the to stand up and share whatever God puts in their heart do 53 00:04:37,97 --> 00:04:38,31 you know there's 54 00:04:38,32 --> 00:04:42,35 a danger in that because if they don't know the word they could be sharing 55 00:04:42,36 --> 00:04:44,86 something that isn't God it could be the devil because they don't have the word to 56 00:04:44,87 --> 00:04:51,56 line up so you have to be careful with what has to be led by the Spirit. So 57 00:04:52,46 --> 00:04:59,29 here's my heart I'm tired of religion. I'm tired of religion the 58 00:04:59,30 --> 00:05:04,14 same ole same ole. I am tired of the fact that we have 59 00:05:04,15 --> 00:05:07,77 a nation that instead of getting closer to God is getting further away from God 60 00:05:11,09 --> 00:05:14,65 Some us a little older than others some of your 61 00:05:14,66 --> 00:05:19,38 a little older than me. Times have changed 62 00:05:21,78 --> 00:05:27,02 this nation is not serving God this nation overall has been rebuilt to go. 63 00:05:28,82 --> 00:05:32,89 There's things that happen this nation that people drink are OK that we would never 64 00:05:32,93 --> 00:05:36,97 listen I was an atheist there's things that people do today that as an atheist I 65 00:05:36,98 --> 00:05:41,29 know is wicked and evil and perverse I don't need God's Holy Spirit in me to tell 66 00:05:41,30 --> 00:05:45,32 me was wicked evil perverse yet there are Christians that embrace 67 00:05:45,64 --> 00:05:52,54 a lot of those things. It breaks my heart that we have such division in our country 68 00:05:54,53 --> 00:05:59,74 in this city. Do you know in this city there are neighbors who hate each other 69 00:05:59,75 --> 00:06:05,89 because of their politics hate each other because of their politics 70 00:06:06,64 --> 00:06:10,82 and of course you know each side is the right side but one side is left on one side 71 00:06:10,83 --> 00:06:16,70 it's right but he side thinks they're correct. And I would argue that there's some 72 00:06:16,71 --> 00:06:21,46 truth in each side there are correct but they better line up to the Word of God or 73 00:06:21,47 --> 00:06:26,36 they're not correct. And just because you call yourself maybe religious 74 00:06:26,37 --> 00:06:30,75 conservative right conservative just right in all those terms doesn't mean you're 75 00:06:30,76 --> 00:06:36,14 right with God. And yet there's division over that 76 00:06:37,38 --> 00:06:42,53 Susan I was talking about racism in an immigration everything else and we agree on 77 00:06:42,54 --> 00:06:45,97 some things we disagree and other things I don't know if I can ever be 78 00:06:45,98 --> 00:06:49,18 a youth leader now because we disagree on something so she may not be able to be 79 00:06:49,19 --> 00:06:56,02 that used leader anymore. And I get pretty emotional when I'm past 80 00:06:56,81 --> 00:07:02,36 passion do I Susan I get pretty pretty emotional but she seems to not have any 81 00:07:02,37 --> 00:07:08,23 problem come right back at me. For passion about what we believe and maybe some 82 00:07:08,24 --> 00:07:11,10 place I'm off she's off but you know what we can have 83 00:07:11,11 --> 00:07:15,03 a debate we can have that discussion and find some truth in the midst of you know 84 00:07:15,04 --> 00:07:20,58 we find out we actually agree on some things can't do that if you don't communicate 85 00:07:21,28 --> 00:07:25,26 you know what sat there are Christians of all talk to other Christians because they 86 00:07:25,27 --> 00:07:31,03 don't believe exactly how they believe. I can't go to your church because you are 87 00:07:31,07 --> 00:07:36,86 destroyed domination our land is broken 88 00:07:38,15 --> 00:07:44,93 our land is broken who agrees My heart is our our church I'm speaking to 89 00:07:44,94 --> 00:07:49,26 a English congregation so you can jump in and apply it will apply all by the way I 90 00:07:49,27 --> 00:07:54,15 need to tell you what is my shoes where are my shoes right now what are they doing 91 00:07:54,32 --> 00:08:01,28 it what they're doing. There is sticking out. OK ready to 92 00:08:01,29 --> 00:08:06,11 be stepped on listen if what I'm saying is stepping on your toes are probably 93 00:08:06,12 --> 00:08:12,14 applies. They don't apply pour your tolls then don't get offended if it doesn't 94 00:08:12,15 --> 00:08:15,53 apply because invariably somebody's going to come to an effort just as well pastor 95 00:08:15,58 --> 00:08:21,36 you know that's not me. It isn't you that's fine. 96 00:08:22,65 --> 00:08:23,57 Because so you have already 97 00:08:23,58 --> 00:08:29,01 a right. So you're already got it all figured out and fixed and you don't need 98 00:08:29,02 --> 00:08:30,04 revival You don't need 99 00:08:30,05 --> 00:08:34,63 a spirit of God to move you don't need to jump into anything you're not you don't 100 00:08:34,64 --> 00:08:39,89 need to seek God because you've got it figured out so that group. You're still 101 00:08:39,90 --> 00:08:45,23 welcome to hear but beyond us of God as we get does if you don't change you're not 102 00:08:45,24 --> 00:08:49,94 going to be happy here because when God's spirit starts to work and move you know 103 00:08:49,95 --> 00:08:56,53 he does he works here first. And he deals with all the fairs the ISM all the dead 104 00:08:56,54 --> 00:09:03,30 bone religion all the self-righteousness all the legalism all the holier than thou 105 00:09:04,22 --> 00:09:08,58 he's going to work here for God's moving and if you don't want to receive God's 106 00:09:08,59 --> 00:09:15,28 doing you'll be unhappy you'll be angry you'll be upset and you'll get on the 107 00:09:15,29 --> 00:09:20,92 phone and tell somebody else and next thing you know you'll bring division and the 108 00:09:20,93 --> 00:09:24,41 good news in this church we've really haven't had any vision since I've been here 109 00:09:24,47 --> 00:09:27,34 in five years has been really division had 110 00:09:27,35 --> 00:09:32,98 a few challenges God to some clean the house to be quite honest with you I believe 111 00:09:32,99 --> 00:09:37,32 that some are gone because God want to clean house here others 112 00:09:37,33 --> 00:09:43,17 a gun because God called him to leave to do something else but the key is are we 113 00:09:43,18 --> 00:09:48,69 going to let God work on OS and do what he needs to do so that His Spirit can work 114 00:09:48,70 --> 00:09:54,41 in our community because you see if we don't let God work here why is going to work 115 00:09:54,42 --> 00:10:00,68 out there. We're not willing to let him mold and shape us and change us right here 116 00:10:00,69 --> 00:10:07,32 in our own hearts and our own congregations we can expect the world to change you 117 00:10:07,33 --> 00:10:11,25 know aggrieved my heart which creeps God's heart we're trying to find political 118 00:10:11,26 --> 00:10:17,92 answers to spiritual problems. Let me tell you. There's nothing 119 00:10:17,93 --> 00:10:19,25 wrong with having 120 00:10:19,26 --> 00:10:22,70 a great Supreme Court that follows biblical principles not the wrong with 121 00:10:22,89 --> 00:10:28,70 presidents and senators and congressmen and mayors and all that to be people that 122 00:10:28,71 --> 00:10:35,31 love God but you know what you can put the whole entire Cabinet of President 123 00:10:35,32 --> 00:10:40,68 Trump President Trump himself every single House of Representative everybody could 124 00:10:40,69 --> 00:10:43,46 be Christians and our country could still be 125 00:10:43,47 --> 00:10:49,48 a mass because Christians who don't follow God. Are of no value to the kingdom of 126 00:10:49,49 --> 00:10:51,52 God. So when there's 127 00:10:51,53 --> 00:10:58,41 a reply we don't the first thing that this. He revives us he works in us 128 00:10:58,42 --> 00:11:04,29 first.

Joules 148 00:12:33,19 --> 00:12:37,82 a prophet in the Old Testament is prophesied to the nation of Israel but is only 149 00:12:37,83 --> 00:12:41,82 prophesied the nation this was possible prophesied to us because I know the go 150 00:12:41,83 --> 00:12:46,64 Testament is for who was just for the know the nation of Israel has 151 00:12:46,65 --> 00:12:52,07 a for the people of God People gossip jolt two twenty eight I'm going to read it 152 00:12:52,08 --> 00:12:55,30 and then I want you to look and see if this sounds anything like it and shall come 153 00:12:55,31 --> 00:13:00,29 to pass afterward they will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons your 154 00:13:00,30 --> 00:13:04,81 daughter shall prophesy you all men should dream dreams your young men show see 155 00:13:04,82 --> 00:13:09,67 visions and also upon the services upon the handmaids in those days I will pour out 156 00:13:09,68 --> 00:13:14,59 my Spirit now will show blunders in the heavens and in the earth blood and fire in 157 00:13:14,60 --> 00:13:18,63 pillars or smoke the sun showed to be turned into darkness of the moon turned to 158 00:13:18,64 --> 00:13:23,58 blood before the Great in the terrible day of the Lord comes and show come to pass 159 00:13:23,59 --> 00:13:27,89 that whosoever shall call the name the Lord shall be delivered for might mount Zion 160 00:13:27,90 --> 00:13:29,71 on an address and shall be deliverance as 161 00:13:29,72 --> 00:13:35,31 a lord has said and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call this sounded like those 162 00:13:35,32 --> 00:13:42,07 verses. What does this say you know to saying 163 00:13:42,43 --> 00:13:47,30 some amazing things are going to happen. And when is it going to happen it has to 164 00:13:47,31 --> 00:13:50,30 be in the last days because it says it's going to happen for the great and terrible 165 00:13:50,31 --> 00:13:54,95 day of the Lord comes what is the great and terrible day of the Lord when Jesus 166 00:13:54,96 --> 00:14:00,07 comes back and he brings judgment. So is going to happen before those days and it 167 00:14:00,08 --> 00:14:05,51 says that God's Spirit is going to be upon whom this sons and the daughters the all 168 00:14:05,55 --> 00:14:12,42 man the young man the servants the handmaidens all.

You know the saying that was fulfilled. 212 00:17:30,10 --> 00:17:36,75 So here's what happens. There are those who say. This 213 00:17:36,76 --> 00:17:42,10 passage the passing Jol was for the people in the book of backs and it was all done 214 00:17:42,11 --> 00:17:49,05 away with it don't apply any more it was good the book of backs it was 215 00:17:49,06 --> 00:17:54,15 good you know right around Jesus' death but you know what all that was done away 216 00:17:54,16 --> 00:18:01,08 with if all that was done away with and yet it 217 00:18:01,09 --> 00:18:04,97 says in the last days and those certainly weren't the last days were they. 218 00:18:08,24 --> 00:18:14,52 Thirty eight was not the last days yet it happened what do we know has to happen 219 00:18:16,12 --> 00:18:22,92 has to happen again. I would argue it has been happening. So I have 220 00:18:22,93 --> 00:18:29,38 a question for you. Are you willing to put aside everything you've been taught 221 00:18:30,58 --> 00:18:36,57 and just go to the word are you going to put aside everything you've been tot and 222 00:18:36,58 --> 00:18:42,49 say I just want God to work and move this church 223 00:18:44,33 --> 00:18:50,47 and many churches have in their doctoral statements that the gifts of the speared 224 00:18:50,51 --> 00:18:55,89 have been done away with that everything happen in the book of Acts is going to 225 00:18:55,90 --> 00:19:02,07 happen to get the good news the pastor before me took care of it and I made sure to 226 00:19:02,08 --> 00:19:08,97 take care of it isn't our bylaws anymore isn't our bylaws to say you know it 227 00:19:09,27 --> 00:19:13,92 means the glory of God as being God is no longer there when you say the gifts of 228 00:19:13,93 --> 00:19:17,68 the Spirit no longer exist that there isn't the move of the spirit anymore there 229 00:19:17,69 --> 00:19:21,91 isn't the power of God work anymore you're saying the glory of God has disappeared 230 00:19:23,34 --> 00:19:27,76 and if that's your statement guess what will happen that's your doctorate doc no 231 00:19:27,77 --> 00:19:31,79 statement that anything time the spirit moves you call it of the devil and the 232 00:19:31,80 --> 00:19:35,22 spirit moves say it's not of God because it can't be because those things don't 233 00:19:35,23 --> 00:19:41,94 happen anymore. If you want the Spirit of 234 00:19:41,95 --> 00:19:46,24 God to work and move if you want to see viable if you want to see God we want to 235 00:19:46,25 --> 00:19:51,08 see God do something we've got to get our doctrine right it's got 236 00:19:51,09 --> 00:19:55,04 a line up to this word. So if there's going to be 237 00:19:55,05 --> 00:20:00,85 a revival notice to take place. Seeking this word. 238 00:20:02,13 --> 00:20:07,69 And go into this word is saying God what is your word say what are the principles 239 00:20:07,70 --> 00:20:14,69 we can find in the word because many called things revival and some of them 240 00:20:15,26 --> 00:20:20,54 are just the devil having a hey day. There's many things that people call 241 00:20:20,55 --> 00:20:21,96 a revival that's 242 00:20:21,97 --> 00:20:28,65 a manmade former law. And others say it's wrong so many give you an example I know 243 00:20:28,66 --> 00:20:32,59 in this church and I know a Baptist church is many Baptist churches I know I was 244 00:20:32,60 --> 00:20:33,72 a Seventh Day Adventist for 245 00:20:33,73 --> 00:20:38,85 a while and on Seventh Day Adventist happens you have revival meetings you know 246 00:20:38,86 --> 00:20:44,42 what that is you bring about an evangelist in the town and what you do he preaches 247 00:20:44,43 --> 00:20:44,95 sermons 248 00:20:44,96 --> 00:20:47,92 a message of subjugation he knocks on doors he gets people to come in you have 249 00:20:47,93 --> 00:20:53,43 a revival meeting that's not revival You know why it's not revive is 250 00:20:53,44 --> 00:20:59,47 a wrong then wrong with that some people are saved because of that nothing wrong 251 00:20:59,48 --> 00:21:03,26 but that's not revival wise and not revival because it was a manmade program 252 00:21:04,08 --> 00:21:07,34 a man showed up he took up formally as a forum the followers he has 253 00:21:07,35 --> 00:21:11,78 a program he follows and he does it nothing wrong with that but you know what 254 00:21:11,79 --> 00:21:17,95 happens to those revivals when the man leaves what happens no more 255 00:21:17,96 --> 00:21:24,43 witnessing nombre are invited to last and we go to the same ole same ole. 256 00:21:25,90 --> 00:21:29,63 And we have other kinds of revivals you know those revivals ours when there's maybe 257 00:21:29,64 --> 00:21:33,06 they're speaking in tongues people are being slain in the spirit you know all kinds 258 00:21:33,07 --> 00:21:38,21 of miracles are happening. Is they're in the wrong and that's in the end it if 259 00:21:38,22 --> 00:21:43,09 God's in it. Nothing is wrong in that but you know if people start chasing the 260 00:21:43,10 --> 00:21:50,05 signs the wonders they start chasing the feeling and then you know what it becomes 261 00:21:50,06 --> 00:21:51,95 a formula becomes 262 00:21:51,96 --> 00:21:55,56 a method again and what we do is we have five nights that we're going to have five 263 00:21:55,57 --> 00:21:55,90 nights 264 00:21:55,91 --> 00:21:59,29 a week of revival we're going to do for two three years and by golly we're going to 265 00:21:59,30 --> 00:22:04,91 do it every got to do to make it happen if we have to sing faster and louder if we 266 00:22:04,92 --> 00:22:09,89 have to run around the building.

And so what 271 00:22:24,50 --> 00:22:26,88 happens is he starts preaching all of 272 00:22:26,89 --> 00:22:33,07 a sudden he starts giggling.
